Hi List,
I am running postgresql 8.4.20 on CentOS 6. Things have been running fine for a long time
then I rebooted. Postgres came up but when I tried to connect with psql on the local machine
I got
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
The socket is actually being created (and always has been) in /tmp
So you built Postgres from source?
I worked around the problem temporarily by
ln -s /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432 /var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432
What controls where psql looks for the socket?

"With the default configure options you used, the postmaster would have
put its Unix socket file into /tmp, not /var/run. I wonder whether your
problem is that you're trying to connect to it with distro-supplied
psql+libpq that expects to find the Unix socket in /var/run."
Thanks,
Steve
